Description

Sassicaia 1995Tenuta San Guido
1lnl, 1lscl
Bottle (9)"This exceptional 1995 has two decades of aging potential ahead
of it. The wine boasts a nearly opaque ruby/purple color, as well
as a knock-out nose of lead pencil, pain grille, minerals,
licorice, and black currants. As the wine sat in the glass,
violet/floral notes began to emerge. In the mouth, it is
tightly-knit and tannic, but superbly concentrated as well as
remarkably pure. It possesses that sweet, rich mid-palate that
often distinguishes great wines from merely good wines. The finish
lasts for over 30 seconds. This wine should only be purchased by
readers willing to wait the 5-6 years needed for it to shed its raw
tannin and grapiness. The 1995 appears to be a Sassicaia to rival
the estate's other top vintages." (92pts Robert Parker, Wine
Advocate #119, Oct 1998)
